Mamaroneck, NY -- On Thursday, November 19th, State Senator Shelley B. Mayer presented the Hampshire Country Club in Mamaroneck with the NYS Senate Empire Award for exemplary service to the community during the Coronavirus Pandemic. The Hampshire Country Club was nominated for the NYS Senate Empire Award by community members for its service during this time of great need. The country club donated food to first responders including police officers, the EMS and essentials to the Community Resource Center of Mamaroneck. Assistant General Manager Dorothy Mourouzis spearheaded the food program and engaged members of the Club, the community and the Mamaroneck Chamber of Commerce to patronize local restaurants and stores to help support small businesses while showing appreciation for essential workers. Hampshire Country Club is known for its dedication to the community. Hampshire opens its doors annually to Camp Ronald McDonald House of NY every summer and is host to the Harvest Dine Around to benefit Part of the Solution (POTS). Helping low-income families and individuals since 1982, POTS has grown to become a leading provider of emergency food, social services and legal representation. This year, the event was hosted virtually due to the pandemic. The Club has also started its annual coat drive for POTS to help keep those in need a little warmer this holiday season. Senator Shelley B. Mayer said, “The effects of the pandemic have created unprecedented need in our communities. It is heartening to see Hampshire Country Club and other institutions go above and beyond to help during this terribly difficult time. I am pleased to present the Hampshire Country Club with the NYS Senate Empire Award in recognition of all of its work serving the community and showing appreciation for first responders during the Coronavirus Pandemic.” “Hampshire Country Club is honored to receive this award in recognition of our service to Mamaroneck,” said Dan Pfeffer, one of the club’s owners. “It is so rewarding to see how everyone has come together—our members, the community and the Chamber—to ultimately help others during these challenging times.” The ceremony was held outdoors at the Hampshire Country Club. This award is a part of Senator Shelley Mayer’s efforts to recognize institutions in our communities who stepped up to help during this unprecedented time. About Senator Shelley B.
